Notes:	English from Aramaic "twin"; NT Gospels. The 1841 Census of Aberdeenshire has frequent occurrences of the abbreviation "Thos." and rare ones of "Thom." and "Tho.", all of which need to be looked for carefully. In old documents in Latin, the forms Thoma, Thomas or Tomas were used, with appropriate case endings, for Thomas.
